The perfect idea for your basement remodeling is to turn your basement into a family room. If a large family room where the entire family can hang around after a hard day at work or school seems out of reach in your present house, consider a basement finishing to give you the family room that you’ve always wanted! Your family will love having a safe haven that they can retreat to when they want to spend time with each other. You’ll see quality family time dramatically improve!
Make sure to include lots of storage space in your family room to hold books, CDs, magazines and other odds and ends you might need for entertainment. A few photographs or curios will add a personal touch, and give the family room a cheery look. Some comfy couches and a carpet can round off the décor. Your basement remodeling contractor will be able to suggest ideas on keeping unsightly pipes and ductwork out of sight.
Add a bathroom to your basement family room. Use book shelves to hide unsightly or odd corners of the basement, like around a pillar right in the middle of the basement that looks ugly when bare, but with a new bookshelf built around it? Voila! A conversation starter for your basement!

We are a military family that just moved to Wentzville. We have a 1400 square foot basement and looking at finishing about half of that. We have rough in bath and would like a living room, bathroom and bedroom.
